Its one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. The words of Neil Armstrong as he took his first steps on the moon, the Mission Launched 50 years ago today. Well be live at the National Space centre in leicester to mark the anniversary. And the celebrations continue for englands cricketers following their world cup win. Good morning and welcome to the bbc news at 9. The four Democratic Congresswomen told by President Trump to go back where they came from have held a joint News Conference to hit back at his comments. Representatives alexandria ocasio cortez, ilhan omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib said he was using racism to deflect attention from his failing policies and urged americans not to take the bait. Heres our washington correspondent, david willis. The president of the United States. Facing accusations of racism and xenophobia, President Trump is not backing down. Spelling out his message in capital letters, let anyone be in any doubt, and going on to attack the democrats for closing ranks around the four women. The dems were trying to distance themselves from the four progressives, he wrote, but now they are forced to embrace them. That means they are endorsing socialism, hate of israel and the usa. Minutes later, at a joint News Conference, the congresswomen three of whom were born in the usa hit back. Hes launching a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the United States house of representatives, all of whom are women of colour. This is the agenda of white nationalists. Some people think its controversial. A lot of people love it, by the way. Downing street has called the president s language completely unacceptable. But while some republican lawmakers have been critical, the silence from Senior Party Members has been deafening. The question now for more moderate republicans going into next years president ial election is what constitutes a crossing of the line. David willis, bbc news, washington. Both candidates to be the uks next Prime Minister have condemned President Trumps tweets. But in a head to head debate for the sun newspaper, neither would call the president racist. Our assistant Political Editor norman smith joins us from westminster. What did they say . There was huge anticipation about how they would react and primarily how Boris Johnson would react, given his failure to stand up for sir kim darroch, the ambassador in washington, and the aftermath of that, that in effect he had proved to be the president s poodle, being unwilling to stand up to donald trump, so anticipation about how he would react. He did condemn the remarks but in a way, it would be an extraordinary moment had he not done so, not just because extraordinary moment had he not done so, notjust because of the nature of the remarks but because other Senior Tories had already gone out of their way to criticise the president , most notably the Prime Minister, and scottish leader ruth davidson. We have seen other international leaders, present trudeau and others criticising donald trump and Senior Republicans in the us not revving it behind him so in the us not revving it behind him so in that context it would have been a moment that could significantly damage Boris Johnsons campaign if he had not openly criticised the president , as indeed did jeremy hunt. This is what they said. I have three half chinese children, and if anyone. And theyre british citizens born on the nhs, and if anyone ever said to them, go back to china, id be utterly appalled. If youre the leader of a great multicultural, multiracial society, you simply cannot use that kind of language about sending people back to where they came from. Obviously brexit came up. What is the latest . Both men have given us a huge heave in the direction of no deal after both last night ruling out pretty much any reworking of the Northern Ireland backstop, the issue at the centre of theresa mays deal, including rejecting the idea of a time limit on the backstop. Why that matters is because that is an area where there might have been the possibility of a deal or compromise, indeed some leading brexiteers had canvassed the idea of saying to the eu, you said you want the backstop to be temporary, why not set a date and we can go home happy and have a deal. Last nightjeremy hunt and borisjohnson said that was not good enough and jeremy hunt said the backstop was dead, which means whoever is elected Prime Minister will have to try to secure an entirely new agreement in a very short time space, only three months until october the 31st, and that is supposing the eu is prepared to consider trying to reach another deal. It does seem to put us pretty much on a firm trajectory at the moment towards a no deal outcome. Thank you. Figures due out in the next half hour are expected to show a significant rise in the number of deaths from drug abuse in scotland. Its thought more than a thousand people died last year. Scotland already has the highest number of drug deaths in any european country. Our correspondent, james shaw reports. When i think of all the drugs ive taken over the years, theres no crying left. Ive run out of tears. An open mic event for drug users in dundee. Sylvia fox started taking drugs at the age 01 14. Now she only uses the heroin substitute methadone, and recognises that her addiction caused a lifetime of risk taking. Once, i was found in the street, just in the middle of the road. I mustve just been walking and collapsed. And the other time i was in the house and i had again injected, i think it was morphine at that stage, and i had odd. Last year, dundee had the highest rate of drug deaths, but the problem affects all scotlands major cities. In areas like this piece of waste ground in the centre of glasgow, the chaotic nature of drug use does start to become apparent. The boss of one organisation which supports drug users is a former deputy chief constable, and now wants some decriminalisation. Enabling some of the things that at the moment we cannot do around drug testing, around indeed treatment centres, and the like, would be sensible, progressive measures that would enable us to have a more effective approach to drug harms than we are currently able to do under the current framework. That may be a controversial view, but demands for change are likely to become harder to ignore. James shaw, bbc news, dundee. The Scottish Government says a task force has been set up to see whether a change of policy is needed. The department of health says its already carrying out a comprehensive review of drug misuse as part of the uk drug strategy. And well bring you those figures as we get them just after 09 30. The man tasked with working out how to improve britains railways says a new, largely independent body should be created to oversee the entire network. Keith williams, the former chief executive of british airways, is due to publish his final recommendations in the autumn. His review follows criticism of the way the franchising model is run. From today, victims of online scams will be able to access help and support through a new service being launched by citizens advice. Facebook is also introducing a new reporting tool, to make it easier to identify and remove fake adverts. Graham satchell reports. Should we have a quick look . Sharon is just one victim of a massive and growing fried. Of a massive and growing fraud. She saw a post on facebook, fronted by the bbcs carol kirkwood, advertising a new way to lose weight. I wouldnt normally have bought diet pills off the internet, but because it was dear carol, why would i not believe her . Yes, you trust her. Yes. Sharon says she is embarrassed to have fallen for the scam, but she is also angry with facebook. Its false advertising and i feel, much like with a newspaper, they would have a say in whether your advert was ok to be posted, and i just feel that facebook should take that into account and do the same. This is utter garbage. We first reported the fake ad featuring carol last month. I think facebook need to take more responsibility for items and adverts that are appearing on their platform. If people are allowed to put any old trash out, it has got to be monitored somewhere along the line. So what is being done . Today, facebook are launching a new reporting tool. If you think an ad is a scam, you can press the icon. A dedicated team at facebook will investigate the ad and take it down. Our responsibility as a platform is to ensure that were doing our very, very best to enforce the removal and the reduction and the eradication of this scam activity. You say you are doing your best to take them down. They are still there. They are there every single day. People are being defrauded, people are losing money, peoples lives are being ruined every single day, and in the end, it is your responsibility. We will never give up everything, if we think there are more things we can do, and the reason we can never give up is that these fraudsters and criminals, they dont quit either. As well as the new reporting tool, facebook have given £3 million to citizens advice for a new online scam service. They are doing it because they were sued for defamation earlier this year by consumer champion martin lewis. His face has been used on thousands of get rich quick scams. Martin has welcomed todays news, but says, in the end, social media giants will have to be regulated not as platforms but as publishers. Until we have government taking responsibility and starting to point the finger and give real laws on the social Media Company and the Online Advertising giants, well, then were still unprotected, and it shouldnt have taken me to sue facebook to get the actions were having today. Someone in power in politics should have been doing this far before that. The government is looking at the regulation of social media sites, but, despite todays changes, there will be many more like sharon who will lose money because the scale of online fraud is enormous. Facebook told us they removed 1. 8 billion pieces of scam content globally in the first three months of this year. At least three Million People have been displaced across north and northeastern india as the monsoon takes lives and destroys homes. Storms and floods have ripped through areas of nepal, bangladesh and india, killing more than 130 people. Gareth barlow reports.

It is not known at this stage what caused that building to colla pse stage what caused that building to collapse but at least 50 people are feared trapped and we will keep you updated as we get any more on that. The headlines on bbc news. Four american congresswomen attacked by President Trump say hes using racism to distract from his failing policies.

Arsenal captain lauren because sheuey arsenal captain lauren because shelley is hurt about his stand off with his club according to a former team mate and friend. He has refused to travel on the pre season tour of the us after his transfer request was refused. The leading candidate to be the next European Commission president says she stands ready to further extend britains withdrawal from the eu. The European Parliament votes today on the nomination of ursula von der leyen for the job of president of the European Commission. Meps will take part in a secret ballot, and ms von der leyen will need an absolute majority. Lets talk to Damian Grammaticas whos in strasbourg for us. Tell us more about her and what her presidency might look like. This is what she has been laying out to parliamentarians here. She has been speaking in the chamber and is now hearing responses from across the political spectrum in europe. What she is laying out, a number of policies designed to attract votes from across the spectrum. She is an ally of angela merkel, currently the German Defence minister. She knows she has centre right conservative vote so she is appealing to others across the centre left. Climate change was right at the top of her pitch. She said she wants to have greater ambitions for the eu in the field of Climate Change. This is what she told the chamber. The Withdrawal Agreement concluded with the government of United Kingdom provide certainty where brexit created uncertainty. In preserving the rights of citizens and in preserving peace and stability on the island of ireland. These two priorities are mind also. However, i stand ready for further extension of the withdrawal date should more time be required for a good reason. In any case, the United Kingdom will remain our ally, our partner, and our friend. Applause that is not what she was saying on Climate Change, that was her pitch on brexit, where she said she is open to extending the uks time in the eu, granting more time for negotiations. What she was saying earlier in her speech was on Climate Change she wants to legislate for the eu to be the worlds first continent to be climate neutral, she said by 2050, and to do that, she would include what is called a carbon board attacks. That is a radical proposal which would be on any imports coming into the eu, a tax to reflect the amount of carbon pumped out by say a factory in china producing those goods. That was her pitch to green votes. Her pitch to the liberals was that she wants to defend the rule of law, strengthen democracy, so defend the rule of law, strengthen democracy, so more defend the rule of law, strengthen democracy, so more scrutiny of countries like hungary, to do more she said to protect the rights of refugees, talking about it as a scandal that 17,000 people have drowned trying to cross the mediterranean to reach the eu. And to the centre left socialist she made a pit she said for european unemployment insurance, for a european minimum wage mechanism to protect wages across the eu. She is looking for votes across that spectrum because she is worried on the left of the political field she may not be getting too much support. Thank you. Breaking news to bring it on the fallout from the donald trump tweets. About the Democratic Congress women saying they should go back to where they come from. Last night Doris Johnson and jeremy back to where they come from. Last night dorisjohnson and jeremy hunt condemned the use of language but did not use the word racist, the same as the reaction from number 10, also condemning the language. Jeremy corbyn has tweeted to say. That just through, reaction from Jeremy Corbyn using the word racist to describe the tweets from donald trump. Food banks in the uk say they expect their busiest summer ever as they struggle to deal with ever increasing demand. Soared by 20 percent last summer. Its expecting a similar increase this year when the School Holidays start. Andy moore reports. Morecambe Bay Food Bank just one of the centres that delivered 1. 6 million food parcels across the country last year. They are gearing up for their busiest time of year, the summer School Holidays, when they prepare lots of food parcels especially for children. During the school terms, the children are actually getting the school meal during the day, at school. So obviously during School Holidays, there isnt the provision for the extra meals, and that puts an extra strain on the families. Extra money needed for childcare can also put pressure on poorerfamilies during the holidays. The Trussell Trust is launching an appeal for funds and food donations. It is also calling for changes to policy. The main issue that we see, which were calling for a change with, is the five week wait that people have to endure until they get their first universal credit payments. Its big, structural measures that the government needs to address in order to put an end to this crisis. The government says families on universal credit can get advance payments from day one, so no one has to wait. It also says 95 of claimants are paid in full and on time. Andy moore, bbc news. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, the immortal words of Neil Armstrong as he took his first steps on the moon, 50 years ago this week. On 16th july 1969, nasa launched apollo 11 inspiring millions of people who watched the mission unfold on television. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. President kennedy wouldnt live to see his dream fulfilled, but injuly1969, 600 Million People watched in wonder. Tranquillity base here. The eagle has landed. When it landed, we all sort ofjumped up and shouted, we did it keith wright, who now lives in dorset, had good reason to be thrilled. This is me inside the top of the saturn v. He worked at the Kennedy Space centre, designing experiments that would go to the moon. A seismometer which was there to detect moonquakes, and the other was a laser reflector which was used to bounce back laser beams sent from the earth, to measure the distance from the earth to the moon. Keith left another legacy. Two of the brackets that held the solar rays on the seismic experiment were going to be thrown away on the moon, and our nasa principal engineer suggested that we sign the back of one of these brackets. I signed my name and drew a little union flag, because we had actually had 27 british engineers working on the experiments. And my signature and the union flag is on one of these. The us flag has disintegrated. The ultraviolet light will have just ruined it, and it will have just broken up. But hopefully our union flag drawing is still there. There he is putting his foot out. It was fantastic, i remember. Jean was gripped by the moon landing. It kicked off a fascination with space that now spans four generations of her family. Her grandson dan runs the kielder observatory, in northumberland, where the family have gathered. The moon is something you look at all your life. Its beautiful. But imagine people being on it, it is so hard to believe. Why are you interested in space . Because theres still lots to be discovered about it, and i love it because its where our home is. The technology that they used was less sophisticated than the mobile phone thats sat in your pocket. But itjust makes you really excited about now weve moved on so much as a civilisation since then, in terms of technology. What can we achieve next, where can we go next . That was the thing on which those men were walking 50 years ago. Its hard to believe, isnt it . It doesnt look solid. It looks as though, if you stood on it, it would just go through. Its marvellous. A constant presence for every human. For a select few, a temporary home. Anna foster is at the National Space centre in leicesterfor us. How are they marking it there . Every day of the week, every day of the year here they have people who come who are thrilled and inspired by the story of the moon, even 50 years on. One think they are doing in particular at this huge exhibition is to look at the british contribution to the space race. It is not something we particularly think about. What they have done here is got a new exhibition looking at the plans in place and work done in the uk before the Apollo Missions started. I am talking to the head of exhibition and design. Still not open to the public. It is your exhibit, a spacesuit. Until now never made in the uk. Thats right. Harry ross came up with the design backin harry ross came up with the design back in the 305 and harry r055 came up with the design back in the 305 and 405 and a study of what you would need to get a suit that would survive. We have used only material5 that would survive. We have used only materials and techniques that would have been available to them at the time. Why is it the british had an illustrious start at the beginning but we dropped out of the space race . Was that because of the war, presumably . Multiple reasons. The main wa5 war, presumably . Multiple reasons. The main was the lack of finance. After the Second World War we were not ina after the Second World War we were not in a position to invest in the money needed. They ended up doing more theoretical studies but many of the things they came up with in theory ended up as reality today 5uch theory ended up as reality today such as geostationary 5atellite5 for communication. Presumably when we come here, we are on the top floor and you are standing next to this mod heel. Particularly children who come here module. Children still find it thrilling, the excitement of the moon. It has not gone away. It i5 the moon. It has not gone away. It is that immediacy of the moon, you look up in the sky at night and you can see it. You do not need a telescope. It is an amazing human 5t0ry. Telescope. It is an amazing human story. The science and Technology Makes it happen but it is human endeavour to explore and it captures imaginations. That is what we are trying to do, to tell the human story of the british people involved in the Apollo Missions and various activities in space and continue today to be involved. Kevin yates, at the National Space centre. We will take a look at the exhibition later. And a british contribution to what is still one of the greatest moments of that century. We are talking about sending men to the moon and we did not have a clear signal to that centre in leicester but i think you got the gist of what was being said. And at 17 30 today you can put your questions to dr helen sharman, the first british astronaut in space. Helen made history in may 1991, when she became the first british astronaut, after answering a radio advert searching for people to send to space. She spent eight days orbiting the earth, living and working on the mir space sation. If you have a question for helen, send it in via text on 61124, tweet using the hashtag bbc ask this, or email ask this at bbc. Co. Uk. In a moment the weather, but first lets join Victoria Derbyshire to find out what shes got coming up in her programme at ten, good morning. Today we will bring the exclusive story of rose brown and it is an incredible story. Rose was robbed of the power of speech after being in a hit and run accident aged 12. Now aged 21, she has the chance finally to choose her own bespoke voice. Are you ready to hear your voice . My name is rose. It sounds cheeky, just like you. China plate, mate. We will bring roses story and hear from the actor who gave rose her new voice. Joiners at 10am on bbc two and the bbc news channel. Now the weather. Thank you very much. Good morning. A lovely starter tuesday across many parts of the uk. A bit of cloud across Western Areas and later on that will produce the odd isolated showers. Most places will stay dry with strong sunshine overhead, right until the afternoon. It will remain growing in shetland throughout, if you showers already in western scotland. You might make them out. One ultimately will pop up elsewhere. Northern ireland, Northern Ireland, north wales in the Northern Ireland, north wales in the north midlands. So few in number, the vast majority will stay dry. Get caught under a shower in scotland, they are likely to be on heavy side, with lots of sunshine, for light most we will have light winds and a 11. A chance to see a partial Lunar Eclipse during the first half of the night, with lots of clear skies around. That will increase in scotla nd around. That will increase in scotland and Northern Ireland. Breezy conditions, outbreaks of rain into a woman of start to wednesday morning. Rain will become a bit more widespread across scotland and Northern Ireland tomorrow, much of england and wales, particularly away from western coasts, will stay dry and stay warm. More than half an hour. More in halfan and stay warm. More than half an hour. More in half an hour. Hello this is bbc news. The headlines. Four american congresswomen attacked by President Trump say hes using racism to distract from his failing policies. He is launching a blatantly racist attack on fourjulia members of the United States house of representatives. All of whom are women of colour. This is the agenda of white nationalists. Some people think it is controversial. A lot of people love it, by the way. Figures to be published in the next few minutes are expected to confirm a steep rise last year in the number of people dying in scotland as a result of taking drugs more on that shortly. Facebook launches a new tool to target scammers and encourage the reporting of fake adverts. The leading candidate to be the next European Commission president says she stands ready to further extend britains withdrawal from the eu. I stand ready for further extensions of the withdrawal date, showed more time be required for a good reason. We have just got the drugs figures through. The number of drug deaths in scotland, as expected, they are up. The statistics are that there we re up. The statistics are that there were 1187 drugs deaths in scotland in 2018. It is an increase of 253 deaths, which is 27 , compared with the figure last year. It is the largest number of drugs deaths ever recorded in scotland, and it is also the highest rate of drug deaths in europe and also the United States. Those figures are remarkable, and we are hoping to speak to Scotlands Health ministerfor some reaction to those statistics. A tsar has been appointed to look at the reasons to behind the higher statistics. That is a very dramatic increase in the number of drugs related deaths in scotland. 27 up, compared with last year. We have the latest unemployment figures to bring you. The three months to may had a drop in the number of unemployed, to one point 29. 1. 29 . Time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. Two years ago, conjoined twins safa and marwa were born in northern pakistan. They were joined at the head a condition which occurs just once in every two and a half million births. Over the last year, a team of nearly 20 specialist surgeons at great ormond street hospital, have been attempting life threatening surgery to separate them. This morning, bbc breakfast spoke to two of those involved paediatric neurosurgeon, Owase Jeelani and by professor david dunaway, who is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. These are extremely rare cases. At great ormond street, we have previously successfully separated two such sets. We had the experience to deal with these cases. There are only a few hospitals around the world with this track record. We we re world with this track record. We were asked for help when the girls we re were asked for help when the girls were three months of age, a neurosurgeon from peshawar called me and wanted me to take over the care. That is what we do at great ormond street, so we did it. Obviously, you quys street, so we did it. Obviously, you guys and the others that are working on this are extremely skilful, you know yourjob is inside out. And yet you are taking part, professor, in a series of operations which are so high tech, so difficult to get right, there must have been a sense of being involved in something which, as we are seeing now, the eyes of the world are on this. So interested to see what goes on and whether it is successful or not. Yes. I think from our point of view, it is really great that we can show the skills of great ormond street hospital, and the teams that we work with. Really showcase british medicine at its best. And i think this is something that we really do well in this country. Working in a team, ina well in this country. Working in a team, in a fashion that allows us to undertake these, get it operations, relying on the skills of nurses, surgeons, clinicians, scientists and engineers that help plan this in such an effective way. What really comes through is the size of the team. It also, in watching these sort of films, there is a series of them coming this week and we will show them throughout the week on bbc brea kfast show them throughout the week on bbc breakfast as well, it is the fact that you particularly have become quite emotionally engaged in this story, the life of these two young children. Is that something you thought would happen . Did that develop over the course of the work . It happened over the course of the work. Perhaps for this particular set, i was emotionally a little bit too involved. It wasjust set, i was emotionally a little bit too involved. It was just the circumstances of when they were referred, what we had to go through to raise the funding and bringing them across. So by the time they arrived, we were already very invested in this family, in these girls. And thejourney, whilst invested in this family, in these girls. And the journey, whilst they have been with us, it has not been straightforward. The whole experience, you know, the whole experience, you know, the whole experience was very intense. And you can find out more about that amazing surgery by visiting the bbc news website or stay right here on the bbc news channel for the second part of the story. Its coming up on the news at five oclock. You have a bit ofa news at five oclock. You have a bit of a wait until then the term holiday hunger might sound out of place in modern britain, but for many families its a real and growing threat. Foodbank charity the Trussell Trust says last summer there was an increase of almost 20 in the number of emergency meal parcels distributed to children. This morning bbc breakfast spoke to annette smith, founder and manager of one such food bank in Morecambe Bay attempting to meet that need. We are open two full days a week. Actually, we can only give out food parcels in an afternoon. It takes that long to prepare them. We are seeing over 30 people each time, each session. And it isjust seeing over 30 people each time, each session. And it is just too many, you know . It is a lot to cope with. It is a lot for our listeners to have to listen to, the harrowing stories, each and every afternoon. We have been looking out the story is that it figures from the Trussell Trust, talking about an increase in holiday hunger. That seems to chime with what you are experiencing . All of our data feeds, yes. But it is very difficult. The numbers are increasing, and each year we get shocked by the rise. We keep thinking we must reach a point where it is going to study off a bit. But it is going to study off a bit. But it just seems to it is going to study off a bit. But itjust seems to be increasing, which is quite alarming for us and the volunteers. You have worked with this, you set up the food bank in 2012. Have you seen the types of people changing in that time . Is it. We know the demand is going up, but is it the kind of people using it that is changing . The kind of people using it are significantly changing. Because we are getting more and more families. We were, at the very beginning, seeing a lot of singles. We do get a lot of single men coming through. It used to then bea men coming through. It used to then be a lot of single families. But now families and working families are all coming through and across larger families, to manage financially. Does it tend to be the people that are qualifying for free school meals, and they dont have access to the food . It is one of the drivers, that they dont have the meals for five of the days of the week. It does put additional strain on families at home. The arguments rise on the kids fighting rises. And the tension is so high. Its not a good situation to be in. Lets take a look at what you are looking at and reading online. The most read is that story about the tweets from donald trump, to the us congress women, telling them to go back where they came from. I want to focus on they came from. I want to focus on the story that is number five on the most read, which is the story of a woman from fife, who lost her mother, herfather, woman from fife, who lost her mother, her father, two woman from fife, who lost her mother, herfather, two sisters woman from fife, who lost her mother, her father, two sisters and a brother to drugs. She was also addicted to drugs herself. It comes after we just release the drugs figures. The number of drugs deaths in scotland, up dramatically, just under 1200 people dying of drugs deaths in scotland last year. It is the highest drug death rate in europe. It means more people died of drugs in scotland than of alcohol. This is a very pertinent and sad story to read about. Jackie, and what happened with her family. She is 34, a recovering drug addict. She has been speaking to bbc scotland, saying it is scary how quickly it can takea saying it is scary how quickly it can take a grip and devastate a family. It is a story we are going to be covering a lot more here on the bbc news channel, hoping to speak to the Public Health minister for scotland. We will have the latest from our correspondence in a few moments. The most watched, you might have seen the street in wales that has taken the Guinness World record title being the steepest street anywhere the world. Rather fittingly, it has taken over from a street in new zealand after the cricket. It is a street in harlech. If you have ever tried to take a picture of a steep place, it is quite difficult to get a sense of it. In the video, it is quite interesting to watch, because the new zealand street that it is being contrasted with does look steeper. Anyway, you might want to take a look at that video. See what you think. It has been certified. The well street is definitely the steepest. Welsh street. These pictures are terrifying and extraordinary. It is a waterfall in pennsylvania. They missed warning signs posted along the way they were going. This is what happened. It is terrifying, isnt it . Amazingly, they were absolutely fine. They didnt have to go to hospital. The people that rescued them said that the life jackets save their lives. Every time i watch them, it is kind of newly shocking. Those are the most of newly shocking. Those are the m ost rea d of newly shocking. Those are the most read and looked at online. And if you want to take a look for yourself, go to the bbc news website. That is all for the morning briefing. Lets catch up with the sport. Good morning. Those pictures are so dramatic. Englands cricketers are already focussing on the ashes, and a summer of double success after winning their first mens world cup. They were at downing street last night for a reception with the Prime Minister who is a big cricket fan herself and was at lords to see them beat new zealand on sunday. The last time an england mens cricket squad was invited to number 10, was in 2015 after winning the ashes and the new series is just a couple of weeks away. Im sure the players will be across every tv screen over the course of the next few weeks. The ash is starting to one half weeks time. We have five test matches against australia to look forward to. This was always deemed the summer that could change cricket. And we have had the perfect start. Meanwhile the new zealand head coach has suggested that teams should be allowed to share the world cup trophy if the tournament is decided by such fine margins in the future. Gary stead says that when games are played over a seven week period, and cant be separated on the final day. Then perhaps a draw day then perhaps a draw is the fairest result. Iam not i am not sure the ecb would agree that historic achievement by england still dominates the back pages this morning. Now make it a double, says the telegraph as the focus shifts to the ashes series, which starts on august 1st at edgbaston. Moeen alis written an article in the guardian in which he talks about the diverse make up of the england squad, and how thats one of their big strengths. And the sun has a picture of a triumphant ben stokes, who is also talking about the ashes. That looks like joe that looks likejoe root that looks like joe root to that looks likejoe root to me england are on the verge of a place in the semi finals of the netball world cup. They emphatically beat jamaica in liverpool yesterday in what was their first real test of the tournament. Theyll guarantee a semi final spot if they beat trinidad and tobago on wednesday. Scotland and Northern Ireland both lost, and will now struggle to make it through to the latter stages of the tournament. The next big sporting event to get underway is the open championship at royal portrush that starts on thursday. Its a home tournament for rory mcilroy who broke the course record there aged just 16. He plays his opening two rounds with the new us open champion Gary Woodland and englands paul casey. Its the first time royal portrush has hosted the open since 1951, and the opening shot will be hit by another northern irishman darren clarke. The political climate, until recently, there was not. They were never going to come here in that scenario. I think from how far weve moved on from the good friday agreement when that was done, they were never going to bring a tournament this big when they had those troubles going on. To see them being as brave as they have been, i think to bring it up here has been wonderful. Defending champion Geraint Thomas had a good day on stage 10 of the tour de france. Thomas had started the 218 kilometre stage from saint flour to albi in fifth overall, but benefitted from a late break in the peloton that caught some riders off guard. The welshman had a unique take on what was a thrilling final sprint. He said some of the riders ran out of gas and the elastic snapped. The arsenal captain Laurent Koscienly is very hurt by his row with the club thats according to his friend and former team mate olivier giroud. Koscielnys refused to travel on arsenals pre season tour of the United States after his transfer request was refused. The 33 year old has been criticised by fans, and is facing disciplinary action from the club. Very hurt by what has happened, you know . He is an emotional person. I hope that both sides will find the best agreement. I know that the club gave him the opportunity to play at arsenal, and it was a big, big opportunity for him to show his quality in the premier league. And i think he has always been grateful about that. And respectful to the club. I dont understand the outcome we are getting to the situation. I feel very sad for him, because he is a great person and the media wants to give him a bad image of himself. Im pretty sure we dont know everything in this situation. Heres something thats being doing very well on social media embarrassment for barcelonas new signing antoine griezeman, on his first day of training with the spanish champions. He signed for £107 million but he was nutmegged not once, but twice by his new team mates. Shall we have another look . Ouch awkward. That is not kind. I think they were showing off. Dont forget sportsday at 6 30 on the bbc news channel. But thats all the sport for now, more from us after 11. Showing off, such a man thing to say. Thank you. Mum. The headlines, more than 1000 people died in scotland last year as a result of drugs, the highest number on record. Four american congresswomen attacked by President Trump say hes using racism to distract from his failing policies. Facebook launches a new tool to target scammers and encourage the reporting of fake adverts. In the last few minutes, officialfigures have been published showing that the number of people whove died in scotland because of drug use has risen over 1,000 in a year, for the first time. That means theyve almost doubled since 2011. That shows a 27 increase on the year before, according to the National Records of scotland. We can talk more about those statistics with james shaw, glasgow. It puts scotla nd with james shaw, glasgow. It puts scotland at the top of the league table when you compare the drugs death rate in europe and america. Its not a good place to be. What is going on with the statistics . Well, the Public Health minister in scotland, joe fitzpatrick, has described the figures as shocking. 1187 people died as a result of taking drugs last year. Lets not forget that each one of those deaths isa forget that each one of those deaths is a tragedy for a family across scotland. But comparing it internationally to other countries, it was already the case that the death rate in scotland was higher than anywhere else in the european union. Now it is the case that it is even higher than in the United States, which is recognised perhaps as the country in the developed world which has the worst figures for drugs deaths anywhere in the world. It is also the case that it means that drug related deaths in scotla nd means that drug related deaths in scotland are higher than alcohol related deaths. That is some change, the fact that the problem is that they have been, of course, with alcohol historically now, it looks like they are being overtaken by the problems with drugs. It has been described by a crisis, as a crisis, and it is hard to look at it any other way. What is the thinking about why the number of drugs deaths is so high, and growing at such an incredible rate . I mean, the short a nswer to incredible rate . I mean, the short answer to that is that it is extremely complicated. And it is very difficult to drill down and understand exactly what is happening. There are one or two marker factors which we should probably talk about. One is the arrival of the drugs market in scotla nd arrival of the drugs market in scotland of what is known as street valium, a drug that people are not necessarily used to taking. They dont know its strength. It can be taken in combination with other drugs that people are already using, and that could lead to effects which they are not expecting. Another important factor, probably, is that there is a large number of older drug users that are dying. People in their 30s and 40s, sometimes referred to as the trainspotting generation, because of that film. That older cohort of people also dying, that is an historical factor because those people have been taking drugs for so long. It has had accumulative effect on their ability to cope with drugs. You should also talk about factors like homelessness and poverty, it weakens peoples ability to cope with the drugs they are taking. It is a complicated picture. When we get the details of the drugs deaths, perhaps it will be possible to understand more clearly what is going on, and why these figures have reached such a shocking and historic high. Will have more reaction on the bbc news channel. Lets get more now on the call for a new largely independent body to be created to oversee the entire rail network. That recommendation has come from Keith Williams, whos bringing out a report in the autumn on how to improve the railways. Our Business Correspondent victoria fritz has been at manchester piccadilly station this morning, finding out what all of this could mean for passengers. It looks like all of the trains are on time. Wind back the clock a year orso, and on time. Wind back the clock a year or so, and those boards were an absolute disaster. This was happening right across the country. We were in the middle of a crisis on britains railways. Everybody was blaming everybody else for the whole fandango. And the government ordered a review into the entire system. The man in charge of that, Keith Williams, he is a former ba executive, the chairman now ofjohn lewis, he is in charge of that review. He is going to be outlining some of his thoughts on bradford a little bit later on today. He has given the bbc a bit of an exclusive preview of his thoughts so far. We said back in february that franchising it, in its existing format, needs to change. But that is the result of a number of things, actually. It is a recognition from the operating companies themselves that franchising wasnt working for them, it wasnt working for them economically, in many cases, or giving them the flexibility to run the railway that they wanted to run. Equally, from the dft side, it wasnt giving them a railway that worked for them. So, wasnt giving them a railway that worked forthem. So, take wasnt giving them a railway that worked for them. So, take both sides together, both sides recognised that franchising needs to change. What were looking at, and we still have options on the table, is what do we need to change it to . What i would say is that it needs to change to something that will work the passenger. So, that is Keith William speaking. He wants to put passengers very much at the heart of this business, the heart of the future of the railways. Will he deliver . Lets speak to tony miles, from modern railways magazine. We have seen review after review after privatisation. Is this one going to be any different, or will it be on the shall for the rest of them . The nervousness is already that the government will find it too difficult and move everything to the left and slide in the williams review at the end. The challenge for the government is to be bold enough to a cce pt the government is to be bold enough to accept the things Keith Williams is going to recommend and to employ meant them, and some of them might be difficult for the government to accept, like having less control directly of the railways. Londons mayor has advised planners to reject proposals for a new skyscraper thats designed to look like a tulip. The 1,000ft high proposed tulip tower had been given the go ahead by the city of London Corporation back in april. But sadiq khan said a number of concerns raised in a London Review Panel report also meant the tower would harm the skyline, there would be a negative impact on the tower of london World Heritage site, and there wasnt enough bicycle parking.
